| Abstract |
The study, which forms part of the final report on the survey concerning railway shunting accident prevention (CIS 79-1746), is devoted to the subjective assessment of hazards to which shunting personnel are exposed. This subjective assessment may be compared with the objective hazards involved, and a comparison of these 2 factors enables differences to be brought to light and information to be obtained on activities involving dangers which are under-estimated. Description of personnel training methods to eliminate hazards due to human behaviour. |
